art of the deal and it's got a picture of him on it and he circles his hands in gold sharpie and he sent to me and says "see not so short." so i take a card, i staple it to the top and i write "actually quite short" and sent it back by return mail and i wrote about this in the magazine and somehow it got picked up during the campaign and it's part of the -- >> seth: it was the reason marco rubio started calling it out. >> yeah, i'm not proud of this, by the way. >> seth: no, it's all right, but are you -- the new york times just recently printed all the people he has tweeted negative things about since he announced, you're in there a bunch. >> i was an early tweeter. >> seth: you were -- yeah, he's attacked you often. is that something --does it hurt your feelings or is it a badge of pride for you? >> it hurt my feelings a bit in the beginning but then he realized after a year and a half he's assaulted everybody, but he called me sloppy, grumpy, dosey, dopey, sleepy and sissy. >> seth: oh wow! >> so it's like a 7 dwarves kind

i've seen what can happen as the result of hate. my son matt was murdered in laramie, wyoming, in 1998. he was befriended by two men in a bar who pretended to be gay. they offered him a ride home, and when he was in their car, they robbed him and beat him. they drove matt out to the prairie and tied him to a split-rail fence, then beat him some more and left him for dead. in the aftermath of matt's death,

my family saw the best of america in the love and support we were shown. so when i see the hate that donald trump has brought to his campaign for president, it terrifies me. i'd like to punch him in the face, i'll tell ya. ahh, i don't know what i said, uhh, i don't remember. he's a mexican. i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody, and i wouldn't... words have an influence. violence causes pain. hate can rip us apart. i know what can happen as the result of hate, and donald trump should never be our president. priorities usa action is responsible for the content of this advertising. ♪ [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: welcome back to late night, everybody. our next guest is a comedian who you know from his work as a cast member on saturday night live. his hour long stand up special "pete davidson smd" premieres october 29th on comedy central. please welcome back to the show our friend pete davidson.

[ laughter ] >> seth: oh, you mean someone in the harry potter movie. >> yeah, it's a huge cast so if someone comes out as -- i'm screwed. >> seth: are you saying -- are you talking about all the people in the 80s who got bill cosby tattoos. >> yeah. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> there's someone out there with a dope bill cosby tattoo. >> seth: what about the guy who has a cosby and a jared and he's

just like "oh, man." >> i don't know. >> seth: he had weird things he liked beforehand too. um, i heard that you used to just leave your door open at your apartment. you were a very good friend, you would let friends just crash there. >> yeah i have friends. [ laughter ] i do surprisingly. >> seth: yeah, seriously. >> i have a couple and they come over. like they work in a city but they live in staten island so -- or brooklyn so whenever they work in the city, i usually leave my door open, if they like need to take a nap or like [ bleep ] >> seth: that's incredibly nice of you. >> yeah until like -- you know, you don't know how you're going to feel every day, so sometimes you go home and you just want to be alone and then you see three friends on the couch and they're like, "what's up!" and i'm like, "hey." so now i started locking my door. >> seth: okay, there you go. did you at least tell them so they don't get all the way to the apartment? >> no, i kind of want them to figure it out for themselves.
